Appncation filed october s1, 1923. serial No. 671,846.

lie it known that I, SAui'i-:L FRANKEN- s'rrix, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook7 and Stateo f Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inLights of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in lights and has for its objectthe provision Otan improved construction of this character readilyadjustable for various conditions and uses and which is of simpleconstruction and efficient in operation.

Other objects will appear hereinafter. This application is to the samelsubject matter as applicants prior application for lights, Serial No.489,421, tiled August 3,

stantially on line 3-3 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a section taken on line L1--4C of Fig. 1;

Fig. 5 is a top .plan View of the construction;

Fig. 6 is a face view of a modified forni of construction;

Fig. 7 is a section taken on line 77 of Fig. 6.; and

Fig. 8 is a section taken on line 8-8 of Fig. 6.

The form of construction illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive,comprises a suitable light casing S) having a parabolic reflector 10arranged therein. The casing 9'is supported upon a suitable bracket 11adjustably en- .gL ed in a clamp 12 at the top of a stem 13which isadjustable in a hollen post 14 as indicated, and whereby the casing 9may be adjusted into any desired position.

The casing 9 is provided with a central opening 1 5 in the top thereofand a housing 1G is arranged around Said opening projecting upwardlytherefrom. The housing 1G isA provided at its top with v entilatingopenings 17 and with a central aperture 18 for.

the passage of feed wires 19, said feed wires leading to an incandescentelectric iight bulb suitably mounted within thecasing. A substantiallyinverted U-shaped yoke or support 2() is arranged within the housing 16and adjustably secured therein by means of binding screws 21 engagingthrough vertical slots22 in the sides of said housing. An

electric light socket 23 is mounted on the support projecting downwardlytherefrom'. thefeed wires 19 leading to said socket for supplyingcurrent thereto. A reducing socket 2-t^is arranged to cooperate with thesoc'ket29 serving as a means for mounting smaller electric light bulbs25 on the said socket as will be readily understood. By

this arrangement` it will be observed that electric light bulbs ofVarious sizes and shapes may be employed in the light and properlyadjusted to central position with reference to the parabolic reflector10. Where larger bulbs are used, the same are inserted directly' intothe socket 23. Where itis desired to use small bulbs, the reducingsocket 24 is tirst insert/ed in the socket 23V A where-upon the smallerbulbs may be inserted in the socket 24l as'indicated. In either event,the inserted bulbs may be nicely adjusted to rellector 10. f

The casing 9is provided with a forwardly swinging door 26 hinged theretoat 27and held in place by a spring catch 28.

In the .modified form of constructionshown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8, the door26 vis removed and va supporting ring 29 inserted within the mouth ofcasing 9, being secured' by clips 30 and screw bolts 31 as will bevreadily understood and as best illustrated in Figs. 6 and 8. Thesupporting ring 9 carries forwardly projecting horizontal supportingflanges 32 having channels 33 formed therein and whereby .various framesmay be supported in the front of the light- Having described myinvention what ciaim as new endzdesire to secure by Letters Patent is l.A light comprising a casing having 'a parabolic reiiector arrangedWithin the seine, there being an opening through the top of said casing;un upwardly extending housing surrounding seid opening; vertical slotsin seid housing; an inverted U-she ed electric iight support, having itslegs s idably and adjust-ably mounted in suidislots;` an electric iightsocket mounted upon said support and arranged to support unelectrilightbulb in operative reletionwith said retie'ctor; and areducing socket for seid. first mentioned Y socket.

2. A light comprising e easing heving a pereboiic ref ieetor errengedwithin the sain@ there being opening through the top of said casing; enupwardly extending housing 'surrounding seid opening; vertical slots atvthe sides of seid housing; en inverted socket; 4and binding screwsextendin through seid slots and secured to sai 'a0 U-shapedusupport foradjustingsaid support to accurately center said bulb in said reflector.Y

3i A light comprising a casing having a curved reflector arrangedWithin'the same there being an opening through the top of seid casing; ahousing mounted over Said opening; slots at the sides of said housing;an inverted U-shaped electric light support adjustably mounted in saidhousing; en electric light socket mounted upon said support forsupporting an electric light bulb in operative relation with seidreflector; a reducing socket for said first mentioned socket; and meansextending through said slots and engagin said U-shaped support foradjusting sai supportA to accurately center said bulb in seid reflector.

in testimony whereof have signe-:l my name to this speciiication in thepresence of 5o two subscribing Witnesses.
